David was an absolute pleasure to work with. As first-time homebuyers navigating a challenging market, we were pretty nervous—but David made the entire process feel manageable and even enjoyable. He was never pushy, always honest and direct, especially when he saw potential concerns with properties we were considering.When we found the home we wanted, David moved quickly to get our offer in and used his experience and savvy negotiation skills to get it accepted—without us needing to increase the price. He truly had a few tricks up his sleeve!We also came into the process without any contacts for a mortgage lender, attorney, or inspector, but David’s extensive network of trusted professionals made everything seamless. Everyone he connected us with was just as efficient, knowledgeable, and easy to work with as he is.We can’t recommend David highly enough—he’s everything you’d want in a realtor: professional, knowledgeable about the market, responsive, transparent, direct, and genuinely invested in helping you find the right home.

David was fantastic to work with—patient, genuine, and never pushy. He really listened to what we wanted, knew the area inside and out, and helped us understand each home without ever forcing an opinion. Yet helped us recognize things to be aware of. When we found the right place, he moved fast and made it happen. Highly recommend working with him. We love our new home!

David DuFault did an amazing and exceptional job helping me locate a unit , especially being that I was from out of state and wasn’t familiar with Chicago much. His attentiveness and diligence was a true highlight!

We had a great experience working with David during our home search. We were first time buyers, but his responsiveness, market knowledge and support, which made everything look easy, when it's clearly not!David shared a strong portfolio of homes that truly matched what we were looking for and provided valuable insights on floor plans and layouts. His connections with other agents were a big advantage and often gave us helpful visibility into opportunities early on.When it came time to negotiate, David guided us through every step. Most importantly, he was always around when we needed him and made us feel supported from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend David to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and dedicated realtor!

David was absolutely outstanding! This review is coming exactly one year after closing.. but truly it was a remarkably rewarding experience and I cannot recommend working with him enough! It was my first buying process and he was patient, kind, knowledgeable and above all wonderfully honest with me every step of the way. His guidance was extremely valuable and every point matched up to the expectations he had sat with me and I am so appreciative. He gave feedback and advice, that I am still using to this day! I love my home and I cannot wait for the opportunity to work again with him on future home buying transactions. Again, truly above and beyond and I am so grateful to have had his services while navigating what can be a very tricky, new experience.

David was an absolute pleasure to work with! As a first time home-buyer I came into the process with little to no knowledge on the process of buying a home in the city. David was extremely kind, knowledgeable, patient, and helped me through every step of the process. He was always extremely transparent and upfront about properties as well as the process, while simultaneously never making me feel pressured to act or not act on a property. The market was extremely tough when we were working together and the process took some time but he was extremely attentive, present and responsive throughout the entire process. David's knowledge of the industry, Chicago, his connections and just who he is as a person made this experience for me a great one. Even after the sale, his contacts for contractors, painters, cleaners, etc. have been so helpful in making my first place feel like home. Truly cannot recommend David enough!

I had an excellent experience working with David to find my first home. As a first-time home buyer, the process was initially nerve-wracking, but David was extremely knowledgeable and patient, making everything easy to understand. He was dedicated to helping me find the right place within my budget and expertly walked me through every step. He was extremely communicative, responding clearly and quickly no matter the day or time. I highly recommend David!
